CE Requirements
In order to maintain your license on active status, the NC Real Estate Commission requires eight (8) hours of continuing education (CE) during each July 1 to June 10 license period.
- For brokers who DO NOT HAVE BIC Eligible Status, four (4) of the required CE credit hours must be obtained by completing the General Update course prescribed by the Commission. The subject matter of this course will be changed by the Commission each license year.
- For brokers who HAVE BIC Eligible Status, four (4) of the required CE credit hours must be obtained by completing the Broker-in-Charge Update (BICUP) course each license period.
- The remaining four (4) CE credit hours may be obtained by taking a Commission approved elective course. Elective courses may address a wide variety of real estate topics.
All North Carolina-required Continuing Education must be completed by June 10. The NC Real Estate Commission requires a blackout period for real estate licensees between June 11- 30 annually. You may not complete any NC CE courses during the blackout. This only applies to CE courses and does not affect Pre or Post-Licensing courses.
